Their last three posts were perhaps their most insightful in months. Keep up the good work!

Ok, that was perhaps unkind (I just disagree with them half the time). I hope that they and their families are in good health, and must acknowledge that it is gracious of them to remind their readers that they haven't forgotten them.

It seems a tough time to hew to the "Chicago school" theory of "hands off". Or for monentary theory? We're awash in capital with nearly zero rates of real interest, the Fed considering buying mortgages to lower the sub 5% rates available....... and still we're on a downward spiral except for corporate profits.

Sunday we got up to a down-pour, and headed to the early service at our church. Our church has just completed a huge add on that has more than doubled the size of the church and it was the first Sunday in the new sanctuary. It was a beautiful service, and it was packed! After church we headed home to change since it was much cooler than expected, then we headed out to my parents and it rained the entire drive, thankfully nothing severe although we were a little late. We had a delicious lunch and then the kids had egg hunt #2. My mom has a huge basket of fake apples in her living room, and David always plays with them, instead of putting eggs in his basket, he loaded it up with apples.

Having higher numbers of occupants per existing structure doesn't bode well for selling off the homes having fallen or about to fall into the laps of bankers.All of the sci-fi stories pointed to a shorter work week, more leisure time and industries developing around increased leisure time coupled with the income to enjoy it. We have nothing like that in place or even in mind. Instead those desperate for any kind of job are to work longer hours for less pay and be appreciative for their opportunity.

The Occupy Movement and everyone else worried about earnings inequality should be emphasizing the need to find ways to encourage more high school dropouts and high school graduates to get the required background and study habits so that they can, and want to, continue on for a college education.
